Vibe Coded to Production book cover - deployment guide for AI-coded apps

Sound Familiar?

"Works on my machine..."

Your app runs perfectly in development. Then you deploy and nothing works. Environment variables missing, database won't connect, secrets exposed.

"Your API keys are on GitHub"

AI tools generate code with hardcoded credentials. You commit without thinking. Now your database password is public forever.

"Just SSH in and fix it live"

No testing. No rollback plan. Direct file edits in production at 2am. When it breaks (and it will), you have no idea what changed or how to undo it.

Every day you spend "figuring out deployment" costs you potential customers.

Your competitor just shipped a new feature while you're debugging environment variables.

The Reality: AI can write code fast. But it can't architect deployments or explain why your app breaks in production.

Let's Talk About What This Would Actually Cost You

Hire a consultant like me

This guide
(Same workflow I charge $200/hr for)

Full disclosure: I charge $200/hour for deployment consulting. A typical engagement is 10 to 15 hours to set up this exact workflow. This guide contains everything I'd tell you in those sessions - the same commands, the same configs, the same "don't do this or you'll get hacked" warnings. You're getting $2,000+ of consulting for less than a Chipotle bowl.

The 4-Step Deployment Workflow That Actually Works

From Replit to production in one day, for $36/month

4-step deployment workflow: Replit Development → AWS RDS Database → GitHub CI/CD → Tag-Based Deploy

This exact workflow deployed 100+ production apps

1.

Replit for Development

Fast iteration with AI. No local setup. Break things without fear.

2.

AWS RDS Database

Your data lives here, not in Replit. Never lose customer data when your Repl sleeps.

3.

GitHub Bridge

Automatic sync from Replit. Proper version control. No more "it works on my machine."

4.

Tag-Based Deployment

Push a git tag. GitHub Actions deploys to AWS. Rollback in 30 seconds.

Zero DevOps expertise required • No Kubernetes • No Docker complexity • Easy technology that actually works

About the Author

Seth Black - Technical Consultant and Engineering Leader

Seth Black

I get startups from janky AI prototype to production so they can get more paying customers.

I've been deploying web apps since before AWS existed. Started in the '90s building PHP websites when "dedicated servers" lived in closets, and I've been writing production code ever since.

I've deployed 100+ apps from Replit, Cursor, and Lovable to production AWS. I've seen every deployment disaster: exposed API keys, databases that "just stopped," migrations that deleted customer data. I've managed 70-person engineering teams and $10MM+ cloud budgets. I've debugged production at 3am so you don't have to.

Over 25+ years, I've personally built dozens of MVPs from ideation to first users. I've worked at startups that failed and ones that succeeded. The difference? The successful ones focused on customers more than they fought with deployments.

This guide is everything I'd tell you if you hired me for $200/hour - but for $4.77. The same workflows, the same commands, the same hard-learned lessons from production incidents that cost real money.

Currently building production systems with Python, AI/ML, and easy technology that actually works.
